Author Notes

This is a life saver when you only have a couple of Yukon gold potatoes and little time. These Potato Cups can be filled with anything you'd like and kids will find them fun peeling apart the layers after eating the delicious filling you put inside. I like to filled them with zucchini ribbons and have even filled them with chicken salad. They are a double side dish. —BerryBaby

Whaaaaat? These are so cute! I wish I knew about them when the kids were small. Now I have to go out and buy a mandolin so I can make them.

Quite honestly I just came up with idea one day while trying to think of something new for lunch. I had leftovers of zucchini and chicken salad and wanted a new vessel other than bread. So, I had one potato and just came up with these. I love them as well. So many fun things that you can put in them. They are crispy and stand up just like a cup. Let me know what ideas you use them for...big kids like them too!
